sional name of Golden Champion. 
Every bud makes a splendid flower. 
Stem and foliage perfect, height five 
feet. Any bud after August 15th. 85c. 
each. 
OCTOBER KING— Deep golden yel- 
low, petals most beautifully whorled 
as in the case of a well-grown 
flower of Wm. Rigby, and while the 
flower is not as large as that variety, 
it is fully ready to cut the first week 
in October, which is weeks before any 
other yellow approaching it in size is 
ready for the market. The blooms 
brought a phenomenal price in the mar- 
kets this year. No yellow can touch it 
for the early shows. Any bud after 
August 1st. Height S% ft. 35c. each. 
PRESIDENT JOHN EVERITT— Color, 
very unique chamois-buff ; when first 
opening, the petals are very closely 
incurved, forming a perfect ball, 27 
inches in circumference. As the flower 
develops, the center petals open outward 
and show considerable of the bronzy- 
crimson reverse- Very dwarf, robust 
grower, and one of the largest flowers 
in the collection. This variety, with its 
enormous size and splendid habit will 
make its own place among the best 
"three exhibition bronze". Bud August 
15th onward. Height 3V2 ft. 35c. each. 
LOUISA POCKETl^ 
LOUISA POCK ETT— Color purest 
possible white, Mr. Pockett calls this 
his ^'greatest achievement," and has 
named it after his wife. He says it 
will, when generally distributed, dis- 
place the popular Wm. Turner, which 
has been the "King" of the exhibi- 
tion tables for the past four years. 
Flower, stem and foliage are alike enor- 
mous. Plants need plenty of room to 
develop. Culturally speaking, when 
handled precisely the same as Wm. 
Turner, bud taken the same time, late 
August or early September, it will give 
splendid results. Height 5 ft. 35c. each. 
Chrysanthemum Novelties of 1917 
RICHMOND— The variety has a long 
season of bloom, can be cut in good con- 
dition on October 20. and was still in 
fine shape and traveled to Philadelphia 
on November 8th. 
The variety is noticeable for its fine 
form, perfect fullness, its silk-like finish, 
and the perfect uniformity on the bench, 
it is absolutely free from culls. Bright 
golden yellow. Take the bud August 
25th. 
?10.00 per hundred.
